AveryCoast: Winter 13, 500 AOV. After an interesting night wandering the streets of Orithea, the sole stronghold against the wild magicks of the Malice Lands, you're heading back to board the train again this morning, set to depart at 7:30 AM sharp for Trekhom, capital of Drakr, tonight.Hilda flips through a lengthy tome during breakfast. It's been too long.Jack‘ is there unusually early- an hour before departure, and heads right for the dining car.
Ananth: "Mmm. Let’s never go back there, shall we?"ChefBatali is there, of course. Doesn't look like he beat Jack by much though. He hasn't even had time to hide all the knives around his station before getting the actual food set up.
Jeremy: "Steamboat all the way back might be faster…"Jack‘ approaches the chefside bar. "Morning, Chef, I was wondering if you had a moment and any leftovers. Just want to mock-up a dish I had last night for later consumption during the ride."
ChefBatali: "Never too busy for a customer of discerning taste. Unfortunately all the leftovers get tossed, but if you can give me a description I might be able to make some magic."
Hilda: "Hoy, wait ’til we're out of the malice lands for any of that."ChefBatali laughs. "Just an expression, I promise."Stocke is just reading a book. Nothing to see here.
Jack: "Sure." He reaches for a sugar jar- presumably set aside for coffee when it's ready and brewed. "It's some fancy dish- kind of sweet, not quite a crepe, had some red drizzle on it." He picks up some sugar and sprinkles it across a folded newspaper that he produces from under his arm. "Maybe some fruit in it? It kind of seemed like a long pastry that had banana and strawberry just -bursting-
Jack: forth from inside. "Jack‘ works his fingers about the paper some more… the sugar spells out ’BOONE.'
Jack: "Hopefully we've got the ingredients just on-hand before the next stop."ChefBatali sees the article and the message and blanches slightly. "Hm. Doesn't ring a bell, but I'll work on it. Might be a recipe I haven't looked up in a while."ChefBatali gets Jack the first cup of coffee from the pot.Jack‘ unceremoniously wipes the sugar away with a finger and gives it a lick.
Ananth: "Sounds like… quite a recipe."
Jack: "To die for."Jack` takes a seat, and has that coffee
ChefBatali: "I hope the next stop is a little more refined. I heard some vagrant was hassling a couple of our passengers at the market. By the time I was done ingredient shopping the excitement had passed."
Hilda: "A shame. If I weren’t in my study contemplating philosophy, I might have been able to do something about it."
ChefBatali: "Yeah, I felt bad. Those two ladies were just minding their own business."ChefBatali rubs his wrist for a second and starts dicing peppers.
AveryCoast: Eventually, 7:30 rolls around and the train begins to depart. First-class passengers remain the same, and no new notable 2nd-class passengers board the train.
AveryCoast: Malia soon stops by your car after they depart, asking if you all want to participate in the safari again.
Jeremy: "Hmm…"
Jack: "I reckon so." He finishes off a cake donut and heads topside.
Jeremy: "Not like there's anything else to do."
ChefBatali: "I might pop up to watch, but I've never been much for guns."
Hilda: "I'll pass, this time. Spectating once was enough, and I have some reading to do."Malia shrugs in Mr. Batali's direction. "Up to you if you want to take a peak. It's more for the guests, of course."
Ananth: "Mmm…" He should probably follow Jeremy, so.
ChefBatali: "Of course. I'll make sure my station is ready for the evening meal before I step away."
AveryCoast: Well, it's not even 8 yet, so I assume you're also ready for lunch, but sure.ChefBatali is a breakfast-making machine, and knocks out his lunch mize in the process. He's pretty good at this!
AveryCoast: Aside from Phyllis, the same people are up there as before: Malia, several guards, Damata and his son Tarro, Bree, Boone, and Cardiff.
AveryCoast: Cardiff's briefcase is tied around his ankle again as he sets up his rifle.ChefBatali is no kind of pickpocket so he's not gonna fuck with that briefcase. Mostly he wants to see who actually knows how to use guns.Jeremy‘ doesn’t seem quiet as enthusiastic about the whole thing today. Though he is paying a little more attention to the creatures actually being shot at least.
AveryCoast: The train's going fairly slowly again as it heads generally East from Orithea
Jack: "Hmm, hmm~"
Jack: "What sort of weird besties show up today~"
[OOC] Jack: *beasties
[OOC] ChefBatali: "Why Jack I didnt think we were that close…"
Jack: "We have another cider tap, right…?"
AveryCoast: You sure do.
AveryCoast: Different brand that they picked up last night.Jack‘ nods in approval and waits for some twisty-horned creature to come loping into view.
Jeremy: "Wouldn’t be much a hunt if the people with guns weren't drinking, now."
AveryCoast: Beasts of all sorts come out to check out the train as it roars past with irregularity.
AveryCoast: Most keep their distance, but every several minutes, one or more of them approach the train or even charge it, each different from the last.ChefBatali shakes his head. "Part of me is curious about the meat, most of me thinks that is a terrible idea."
AveryCoast: Some of them seem to even be made of pure elemental energy, so yes, some of them would be a terrible idea.
Ananth: "Mmm. Preparing it would be…a unique challenge."Hilda heads back to her own quarters for a bit, fighting the temptation to conjure up a Mage Hand in privacy.Jack‘ takes aim at any big ones that start getting too fresh with the train. Hits more than misses, 70/30 split?
AveryCoast: Boone probably averages about the same, the best of the others.
AveryCoast: Bree’s probably closer to 60%, Cardiff probably half/half?
AveryCoast: Damata and his son are…below that.
Jeremy: "Some of this stuff out here is pretty crazy though. Guess magic being broken really does a number on the local fauna?"
Ananth: "The chaos has to go -somewhere-. Things are possible here that aren't possible anywhere else."
ChefBatali: "There's an entire wing of the Ber library devoted to the effects of the Malice Lands."
Damata: "The flora as well. We've probably passed through more ecosystems here than I've been to previously."
Jack: "It's made for a pretty striking trip, if I do say so."
Jeremy: "That's kind of interesting, I guess."
Boone: "Makes putting these things down harder too. A good shot to the head doesn't always take something down."
Jeremy: "Oh man do you reckon there's like, giant sentient killer plants or something too?"ChefBatali hangs out for a little bit, checks a sip of the cider to make sure its acceptable, and heads back to his station. People gotta eat!Bree grunts. "Probably haven't seen them only because they can't move to the train."
Jeremy: "Haha."
AveryCoast: It's a bit over an hour later, as you're passing through a fog-filled swampy region, when all of a sudden the train lurches and its brakes begin to screech.
AveryCoast: Chandra, Gerald, Garrett, make Acrobatics checks to avoid falling off.Hilda fights off the urge to play with fire in a land where it's a really bad idea, instead turning her mind to … unconventional forms of manipulation. Magic, to her, is a tool - one she's relied on too heavily. It can fade, it can die, and it can fail her. There must exist something beyond her immediate grasp. Something she's had her suspicions of for a while now. Funny that sheHilda never paid it serious thought until she was forced to seek an alternative, however temporary that arrangement might be.Jack‘ rolled 1d20+15 and got 2 ( Total: 17 )
AveryCoast: I didn’t even need to ask you to roll….
AveryCoast: Apparently. DC 14.Jeremy‘ doesn’t need to roll either then lol.Jack‘ doesn’t spill a drop.
AveryCoast: Teak?
[OOC] Hilda: "I DIDN'T DO IT"Ananth‘ yelps!Ananth` rolled 1d20+1 and got 12 ( Total: 13 )
[OOC] Jack: are you wearing your armor >_>
[OOC] Jack: shit he might be
[OOC] Ananth: armor but not shield but I guess maybe not armor??? idkChefBatali makes a very undignified noise and is fortunate he didnt open up his hand on some cutlery. Still, this is bad. Very very bad.
[OOC] Jack: not shield works!!Hilda starts to experiment by flipping a coin - but then the train lurches. Of course.
AveryCoast: Teak did you make DC 14 or not?
[OOC] Ananth: Without armor or shield, yes
AveryCoast: okay sure
AveryCoast: The train screeches to a stop, and just as it does so, a deafening chorus of roars sounds from the fog.
AveryCoast: Ernst, you see a gargantuan shape emerge from the fog, several necks dozens of feet long tipped with mouths.
Jack: "I think we made it mad."
AveryCoast: It is, sadly enough, right in front of your car.

Jeremy: "Suddenly real glad I’m up here with my gun and not down there without it now, ha."
AveryCoast: Gerald, Garrett, Zane, Chandra?
AveryCoast: There's 8 cars between you and the beast.
AveryCoast: about 90 squares distant.
ChefBatali: "Ladies, gentlemen, I'm afraid your next drinks will have to wait. Otherwise these might be your last drinks. Dining station is temporarily closed…" And with a rattle of knives Zane is bolting out of the car and onto the roof for cleaner running lines.
Jack: "Whoa!"
AveryCoast: You can probably climb up to the roof of car 18, left side, by the end of your turn.
AveryCoast: Malia and Tarro let loose screams as they see the beast.
Jeremy: "Hmm. That is way too far to run." Jeremy Takes Aim at the giant ass beast in the distance. (Exteme Range Available), before marking it as his [Quarry].
AveryCoast: Quarry doesn't have a range, right? Yeah sure it's the closest thing.
AveryCoast: The heads count as the same creature.
AveryCoast: But each gets separate conditions, just so you know.
Jack: "So glad I bought this thing!"
AveryCoast: Garrett, Chandra?Jack‘ double-Runs down the car roofs to get close.rJeremy` doesn’t take his eye off the rifle or scope, but does open his mouth in the direction fo Damata and his son. "Ya'll might wanna get inside by the way, that thing bumps into the train and it's gunna be real hard to keep your footing."
AveryCoast: Several mounted figures ride in towards the front of the train. There's some movement at the front of the train.
Jack: "…monsters come in all shapes in the Malice Lands, it seems."
Jeremy: "Bandits?"
Jack: "Either that or they slept in at the last stop and just happened to catch up to the train."
Jeremy: "Haha, and here I was supposed to stay outa trouble by goin' on this trip!"
AveryCoast: Phyllis?Hilda grabs her tome and orb and double-moves outside her quarters. Or at least, the closest place she can find roof access.
[OOC] Hilda: you might have to point out where that is on the map for me though

AveryCoast: Battle Order: | 31:Gerald | 27:Garrett | 24:Zane | 24:Chandrasekhar | 20:Malice Bandit E-H | 16:Ernst | 12:Malice Bandit A-D | 11:Phyllis | 11:Bree |
AveryCoast: Gerald, Garrett, Zane, Chandra?
AveryCoast: Zane, the lock didn't pop, no sudden jolt :(Jack‘ still holdin’ actionJeremy‘ pokes his head up. "Huh. No boom. Guess we’re in the clear now…?"ChefBatali frowns. So much for using the train as an alibi. Guess its time to just pick it the old fashioned way.ChefBatali rolled 1d20+9 and got 9 ( Total: 18.0 )Jeremy‘ just gunna hang out and survey the area just in case, until they get a good distance out.
AveryCoast: Alright, you pop it open and inside there’s a bunch of documents.
AveryCoast: Bandits G and H shoot the robot again.AveryCoast rolled 2#d20+15(1) and got 12 ( Total: 27.0 )Also rolled 2#d20+15(2) and got 6 [Total: 21.0 (Low), Avg: 6.00]Total: 48.0, Avg: 9.00
AveryCoast: 10 damageChefBatali scans them quickly. Fuck where's Hilda she can copy all this crap… He sets the coffee to boil and heads over to find the dwarf.
AveryCoast: Danoran military documents……?
[OOC] ChefBatali: definitely getting them copied by Hilda ASAP
AveryCoast: Ernst?Stocke dismisses his robot. He continues to focus on the train cars.
AveryCoast: Alright.
AveryCoast: The train eventually speeds up, the bandits take off with what they can, Garrett taking a couple potshots at them as they race off into the distance.
AveryCoast: Stocke manages to use his tether to teleport back into car 10 as the Allied Passenger gets into range.Stocke phases into the train when the car with the allied target comes into view. He was his tether target after all. [Prepped move action]
AveryCoast: The rest of the trip back to Trekhom is somber as the conductor Xorin makes his way through the train, checking on people and asking if they saw anything that might be useful for the formal investigation.
AveryCoast: Cardiff asks around to see if anyone has seen his briefcase, visibly worried.Jack‘ slowly makes his way back to the 1st class dining car, and sits in a big chair with a slump, unloaded rifle at his side. (Between cars, he subtly stowed his dagger.)Jeremy` will let him know that he stopped it from going off the edge of the train a few times, but thinks it feel into the dining cart near the end.Stocke eventually makes his way to the engine room to talk to the conducter and engineer.Ananth` somehow went right back to being a sort of weird eladrin chanter in the middle of all of this, he made sure to be seen scooting around healing people, that’s for sure.
AveryCoast: Overall there's very few wounded, but several dead passengers and a few dead guards.Jeremy‘ gunna get his drink on after coming back inside when he’s sure nothing else is attacking the train, and wait for the cook to return and make some dinner.ChefBatali definitely hands the case over to Cardiff. "It uh, took a bit of a tumble getting here. I saved what I could but a few papers got blown away before I could get them."ChefBatali flawless delivery of the literal truth.
AveryCoast: He looks suspcious, but thanks you graciously. Between him and Luc, today's tips are pretty impressive.ChefBatali is just a stupid half-orc anyway, he probably couldn't even read whatever that shit was!Hilda does some copying, of course, before that.
AveryCoast: Of course.
